The Uncontrollability of the World

Downtown Minneapolis

September 22, 2024 • Davis Johnson • Genesis 1:26, Matthew 9:9

When our desire for control meets the unpredictability of life, we’re left with anxiety and frustration. What if real freedom comes not from tightening our grasp, but from responding to and resonating with the God who holds all things together? Join us this week as we discover the possibility of releasing our grip a bit through navigating the half truth of control as the goal.

Suffering is (Not) Meaningless

September 29, 2024 • Cor Chmieleski • Daniel 3:15–29

Suffering can feel meaningless. To cope, we take our cues from culture or our own best thinking. We treat God as an accomplice, someone who is to act in accordance with our wishes for happiness. It is folly. Instead we need to trust God as God and the Cross, which shows how God can transform the worst suffering into the greatest salvation. Reflection: 1) Do you ever wonder if God is going to “get it right”? 2) Do you believe in God that one day everything that is sad will come untrue?
